SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 483,605, dated October4, 1892.

Application filed May 31, 1892. Serial No. 434.933. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. FIEN, of Oneida,in the county of Madison,in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements inVeil-Pins, of which the following, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to the construction of veil-pins adapted to besecured to the bonnet.

My object is to produce a veil-pin so arranged that it will hold theends of the veil around the head without the necessity of tying them orotherwise pinning them, and which shall be cheap, durablein'construction, and of great utility.

My invention consists in the several novel features of construction andoperation hereinafter described, and which are specifically set forth inthe claim hereunto annexed. It is constructed as follows, referencebeing bad to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is anisometrical view of the pin complete, showing it as it appears securingthe ends of the veil. Fig. 2 is an edge View of the pin complete,showing both parts of the clasp open. Fig. 3 is a view of the pindetached, the lower section being closed and the upper one open.

The clasp comprises the central curved diagonal bar A, having on each ofits faces barbs or the like and two end bars forminga continuation ofsaid central bar and having at their extremities the inwardly-curvedportions 1 and 5 to engage the loops 4 and 2, respectively, of theclasp. To one of the outer faces of the bent plate I secure the pin B,by which the device is secured to the bonnet.

My invention is operated as follows: One end of the veil is first placedin the opening a, and the upper portion of the bent plate is then forceddown until the clasp 1 is hooked over the loop 4, where the veil issecurely held. It is then secured upon the bonnet by the pin B and theveil wound about the face or head, as desired, and the opposite endplaced within the opening I), when the clasp 5 is forced down over theloop 2, where it is securely held and takes the position shown in Fig.1.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

As a new article of manufacture, a veil-pin comprising a claspconsisting of a curved diagonal bar having on each of its faces barbs orthe like and two end bars forming acontinuation of said central bar andhaving at each extremity an inwardly-curved portion to engage theopposite loops of the clasp, and a pin secured to one of the end barsthereof.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of May,1892.

GEORGE H. FIEN.
